bought the gf's grand daughter a dollhouse from Costco w a promise to put it together decent directions but wtf was I thinking? Merry Christmas
I also gave her this baby that I had no idea was semi animated they put batteries in it and apparently it cries and pisses at all times driving even the baby crazy poor baby started laying it off on nana and the rest of the clan to take care of until they shut it off apparently I told her to "lose" it and never speak of it again she is captivated w the house but that's one of those things sometimes kids just don't play with more than a few days and forget about experienced that w my own and one of those wood outdoor playsets after a full day of assembly it probably got 10 hours of use if that oh well
Quite honestly, as a model builder and vignette maker most of my life, I was kinda glad the one I built became mostly a static model...all that work and detail I put into it, I wanted no grubby little fingers messing up my project. That's just the kind of guy I am, much to my credit shame.
My grandad made those detailed wooden ship models too. His USS Constitution build was exceptional- down to the ratlins.
